Darby Staying or Leaving?

[RedStar]

Has he mentioned anything about staying or leaving after this year?

I really hope he stays we need him next year.

If he wants an NFL career, he'll stay.

 

[Bad Pony]

Look on the bright side, he can't run behind an O-line next year as bad as this one has turned out to be

If Darby was a QB I'd agree but the run blocking has been at least decent.

no it hasn't. he has had first contact behind the line on at least 80% of the run plays this season.

DARBY WILL STAY!

Would it be safe to assume that Darby is an 06 heisman candidate?

If Bama can block for him, yes.

touchdowns win heismans

Darby has 3 this year.

Unless we give it to him on the 2 yard line every time I don't think so.
But I don't want a heisman I want a 10 win season in a year with a new QB. That would be fantastic!

Why would he?

Why would he?

 

[LTBamaFan]

I wish him well, whatever he decides. With all he has been through with injuries etc. he has been a remarkable talent and always gives great effort.

Where's he going to go?

I think he is leaving. The simple reason being, and I know this is a team game, is that he is not getting the ball enough in my opinion. He is durable and has proven himself. He deserves better as does many on this team. He has given his all and I think he deserves 20-25 carries a game. Whatever he does, I know he will do well. I have never been a proponent of a student-athlete leaving early (see the Bama basketball team for proof) but I cannot say that I would blame him if he did go. We have a stable of backs to go to next year. We sure would need him if he stays. Just my 2 cents.

I think that's a fair question. Looks to me the groundwork has been laid. Blackledge giving KD due props certainly helps plant the seed in a lot of people's minds! What a warrior!

The simple fact is, Darby is not ready for the NFL.

Somewhere safer (e.g., a minefield, a shark tank).

& that just makes the fact that he has gained over a thousand yards, all the more remarkable! Just imagine KD behind a decent O-line.

No need to imagine it... You'll see it next year.
